Xbox 360 owners rejoice! Microsoft confirm top titles coming soon

DON'T GIVE UP: Microsoft confirm it still has big plans for the older 360 console [MICROSOFT]

Microsoft has assured Xbox 360 owners they've not given up on the console.

Fans are worried that there will soon be a new games drought as the firm's attention turns towards its new machine Xbox One.

The company flooded its E3 press conference last week with a host of upcoming titles for the "next gen" box.

Games like Sunset Overdrive, Halo 5 and Fable Legends all looked amazing for the new machine.

But there was a distinct lack of anything new for the ageing Xbox 360.

Xbox head Phil Spencer has promised owners there is still an "obligation" that the company produces for the machine.

He said new games will keep coming out for the Xbox 360 in future.

If you bought your Xbox 360 a year and a half ago, I think we have an obligation there," Spencer said.

“We're going to sell millions more Xbox 360s before this generation is done”

"We're going to sell millions more Xbox 360s before this generation is done and when people make a £100+ commitment to us, they're gonna come in and buy an Xbox 360, I want to make sure that there's content for them."

He said it was important for Microsoft to invest in the future of Xbox One.

But there's still a huge install-base - about 84million Xbox 360s sold worldwide - and owners need to be looked after.

Abandoning them now would be a bad move.

He's confident independent developers will also keep backing the Xbox 360 for the foreseeable future because there's plenty of money still to be made out of the nine year old machine.

He said: "For a third party this is the nice part of the curve for the last generation, because you've got millions of people out there and they want to sell content that these people will buy.

"They also want to kick-start the new generation successfully, so you'll see a lot of them doing a little bit of both."
